There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Rochester to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
